PERIOD:
Herewith we call for proposals for the beam time period I/14 between
01/05/2014 and 31/08/2014.
PROPOSAL-SUBMISSION:
New users are kindly asked to contact the instrument responsibles
before submitting a proposal to discuss instrumental options and
reasonable beam time requests.
Please make use of the option to link related previous proposals with their
experimental reports to the new one. A proper mention of previous results
will provide a certain 'bonus' during the evaluation process. This new feature replaces
the previous option to submit 'continuation proposals'.
Guidelines for the proposal submission and further useful information can be
found on the SINQ webpages:
